The turquoise inner lagoon would be perfect for visitors who wish to experience the magnificence of Maldivian marine ecosystem. The calm waters would be suitable for both experienced and novice swimmers, whilst the deeper waters nearby provide excellent opportunities for divers. Close proximity to Hithadhoo harbor would mean a short commute for staff to home. 06 | ADDU TOURISM DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT ROOMS 280 250 ADDU TOURISM development concept JOBS PROJECT DURATION 420 2.5 YEARS LAGOON RESORT The relatively large outer reef west of Hulhumeedhoo is an idyllic location for the development of 12 hectare reclaimed island resort with 200 rooms including water villas. Essentially untouched, the sheltered inner reef would be sublime for snorkeling, diving and other water sport enthusiasts. This development would provide much needed stimulus for the Hulhumeedhoo economy. 07 | ADDU TOURISM DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT ROOMS 180 ADDU TOURISM development concept JOBS PROJECT DURATION 270 2 YEARS HANKEDA RESORT Hankede Island can be ideally developed as a budget resort with up to 150-200 rooms. With small cozy villas or two story building units plus water villas on the beautiful lagoon it can be an exciting addition to tourist accommodation in Addu.

This would be a welcoming project since the Local staff working in Hankede resort can return to their families after work every day. 08 | ADDU TOURISM DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT ADDU TOURISM development concept JOBS PROJECT DURATION 450 2.5 YEARS MULIKEDE RESORT Mulikede island is small island just north of Shangri-la Villigili resort. The island is located in a beautiful large lagoon. By reclamation of the lagoon, Mulikede can be developed as a 4 star resort with up to 300 rooms. This chic new resort in Addu would boost tourism with additional beds and offer more choices to the tourists. It will further provide more employment to the local population and increase economic growth. 09 | ADDU TOURISM DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT ADDU TOURISM development concept JOBS PROJECT DURATION 120 1 YEAR TOURIST BEACH Addu is a unique island destination in the Maldives, which has many qualities to attract travelers to the booming guesthouse market in the Maldives. The distinctive geography and the large connected islands allow tourists to explore these beautiful tropical islands. Addu offers exceptional facets like the amazing underwater kingdom, superb crystal-clear waters, relaxing island atmosphere, great cuisines and dining options, colorful history and culture, the unique wetlands such as the Eidigalhi Kilhi and Koattey in the Addu Nature park, and most importantly a welcoming and hospitable people. Despite all these favorable attributes, Addu needs to offer beach areas for tourists to enjoy. Maldives is famous for the Sun, Sea and Sand, so for the guesthouse business to truly flourish in Addu, it is absolutely vital that Addu too, is able to offer its visitors a pleasant beach for the tourists. 10 | ADDU TOURISM DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT ADDU TOURISM development concept JOBS PROJECT DURATION 120 2 YEARS MANGROVE ECO RETREAT A sanctuary hidden in the midst of nature, surrounded by lush vegetation and green waters of the mangrove. The mangroves of Hulhumeedhoo are a perfect location to have such a retreat. A place that can offer total escape from the hustle & bustle of the world. This is an ideal place to create and promote as a wellness retreat destination. Spa is a core business within wellness tourism and accounts for a significant portion of the wellness tourism economy along with Yoga & meditation tourism. Already a multibillion-dollar industry, the spa and wellness travel sector will see a significant surge in coming years. 11 | ADDU TOURISM DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT ADDU TOURISM development concept JOBS PROJECT DURATION 200 2 YEARS GAN TRANSIT HOTEL The location for the transit hotel is in the southern side of Gan Airport.

  • What Is Shaping Vulnerability to Climate Change? the Case of Laamu Atoll, Maldives
    Island Studies Journal, 14(1), 2019, 81-100 What is shaping vulnerability to climate change? The case of Laamu Atoll, Maldives Karen E. McNamara The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Rachel Clissold The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Annah Piggott-McKellar The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Lisa Buggy The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Aishath Azfa United Nations Development Programme, Malé, Maldives [email protected] Abstract: As climate change accelerates, it brings with it numerous challenges to society and the natural world. Concepts such as vulnerability have emerged as a way of trying to understand people’s risk, despite there being a range of variables that can influence vulnerability and its temporal and spatial dimensions. Drawing from the well-known conceptualisation of vulnerability as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, this paper seeks to understand what variables are influencing and shaping vulnerability in Laamu Atoll, the Maldives, and produce a base of knowledge for future vulnerability reduction initiatives. Household questionnaires (n=412) were used on Laamu Atoll to ascertain locals’ perceptions of vulnerability based on livelihood resources, financial security, and climate-change experiences. Results show that peripherality, as a notion that describes the disparities between ‘core’ and ‘peripheral’ islands, is a key factor shaping vulnerability variables on Laamu Atoll. This has prompted an overarching recommendation for peripherality to be considered as a key dimension of vulnerability to climate change and an important consideration for existing and future human development and climate change policy and practice in Small Island Developing States.
